"But… Why? I mean, I understand why. But…"
Golbert sighed softly and caringly, leaning over his desk with a ginger grin. "Nelphy, dear, isn't it for the best? Since Bil wants his privacy, why not abide by his wishes?"
"Then, what about when I want to visit?" Nelphy asked.
"Then visit. What's stopping you from visiting someone when you've got your passport," reasoned Golbert. "Just make sure you've got a solid alibi. And depending on what Bil does to that storefront, you might have one pretty soon."
Nelphy mumbled, annoyed, "... Fine… I get it."
"So, what's the story?" Golbert asked, looking back and forth between the siblings.
Jash answered, "Our adopted guardian passed away a few weeks ago, and we came to Frantoch to start our lives as siblings."
"And what's your guardian's name?"
"Huh?"
